Slim Wirewine CAT6A U/FTP Patch Cord, 3m, RJ-45, 10 Gigabit, Orange, 36-Pack

The Slim Wirewine CAT6A U/FTP patch cord set provides a professional solution for high-speed networking, featuring 36 individual 3-meter cables designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance. With a slim 3.8mm diameter, these cables are engineered to optimize airflow and space in dense network environments. Each cable is constructed with 4-pair twisted copper wiring and features U/FTP shielding to minimize electromagnetic interference, ensuring stable and reliable data transmission.

Advantages

These patch cords offer significant benefits for modern network infrastructure, primarily due to their space-saving design. The thin 3.8mm profile allows for cleaner cable management in crowded server racks and high-density switch environments. The inclusion of a specialized, break-proof RJ-45 latch ensures long-term durability, allowing the connector to withstand frequent plugging and unplugging without damage. Furthermore, the LSOH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) flame-retardant jacket enhances safety, while the support for Power over Ethernet (PoE) standards makes these cables versatile for powering VoIP phones, cameras, and other network devices.

Suitable for

• High-density data centers and server rooms
• Connecting network switches with high port density
• Office environments for VoIP phones, printers, and workstations
• Industrial settings with limited space for cable routing
• Professional field technicians requiring flexible, portable connectivity

When it may not be suitable

These cables may not be the optimal choice for long-distance outdoor installations, as they are designed primarily for indoor patch applications. Additionally, if your network infrastructure requires specific color-coding beyond the provided orange finish, you may need to supplement this set with other color options.

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Cat6a
• Shielding: U/FTP (STP)
• Data transfer rate: 10 Gigabit (10000 Mbit/s)
• Cable diameter: 3.8 mm
• Length: 3 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 Straight Male
• Material: 100% Copper, AWG32
• Jacket: LSOH (Flame retardant)
• PoE support: IEEE802.3af and IEEE802.3at

How to use

To install, simply insert the RJ-45 connector into the desired network port until the latch clicks securely into place. Due to the slim design, these cables are highly flexible and can be easily routed through narrow cable management channels or tight spaces. When disconnecting, press the specialized latch design to release the plug safely. Ensure that the cable is not bent beyond its minimum radius to maintain optimal signal integrity over time.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing network hardware supports CAT6A standards for 10 Gigabit speeds.
• Ensure the 3-meter length is sufficient for your specific rack or desk layout.
• Confirm that your environment requires LSOH-rated cabling for fire safety compliance.
• Check if your devices require Power over Ethernet (PoE) to ensure compatibility with the IEEE standards supported.

Usage recommendations

For the best performance in high-density environments, avoid bundling these cables too tightly with plastic zip ties; instead, use hook-and-loop fasteners to maintain the integrity of the slim 3.8mm profile and ensure proper airflow within your server cabinets.
